Rating
Bag of Preparation is a Common relic that draws 2 extra cards at combat start. Expanding your opening hand makes it easier to pick the optimal opener, and every combat becomes more consistent. Among Commons it sits firmly in S-tier, and performs regardless of deck direction. The higher deck throughput also raises the odds of drawing key cards.
